i don't necessarily emulate anyone per say. but i do take inspiration from people. some celebrities. like tyra banks and kerry washington for example lol.

i love how they are such beautiful women but at the same time seem to be so comfortable in their skin while at the same time allowing others to shine just the same.

when i'm in my head and think i should smother my light, i think about people like them who embrace all that they are. i think they had positive reinforcements to get them to where they are. i didn't really so they inspire me.

Samone, it isn't about being another person. I don't want to be anyone else either but it is really hard for me to be around a group of people. Like, a classroom, I just can't bother to participate in the chatting going on. I like people, I love talking, but I just can't jump in. So if I emulate someone or model some celebrity who is very extrovert, then I won't look awkward.

One time I tried to do something out of character and it was just weird, even people who didn't know me noticed. So maybe playing Sasha Fierce (lol) or just modeling some enthusiastic person, I won't be awkward when I play extrovert for a bit.

that seems kinda theatrical. probably would be better if you made a checklist or something to gradually come out your comfort zone. then again I been stuck in my rut so long my advice barely works for myself

The only downside of being introvert, to me, is that I have a hard time making friends. But the whole modeling someone would be only for when I am around too many people and I don't know anyone.I wouldn't be emulating someone when I am getting to know a person (as for friendship or dating).

Being social and knowing many people is overrated. If you observe others, if you watch and listen to what they say and you make a connection, you will see that a lot of people are unhappy with who they are and what they experience, and so they grow bitter and mean to others because they can't figure out how to get the happiness they desire.

I appear like a mouse because my mind is usually deeply present, observing people's body language and making connections. By the time my mind figures out just who the snakes are, obviously I have no desire to make friends because I know it is a trap. This person acts like a snake.

So I choose my company wisely, but because of that, all of the snakes think I am a mouse not even worth eating. Or maybe they are not hungry for me yet, which is a win for me because not only am I escaping the jaws of a snake, I am being fully educated on his routine. The snake is not slicker than me and if he open his mouth to swallow me up, he is shocked that I swerve how he swerves and strike how he strikes.

He realizes, oh sh*t! This is not a mouse, this is a lioness!!

Meanwhile, I have befriended all of the genuine people, and they are not many.The snakes then fight to eat each other to prove who is the biggest snake. If they ask me I could tell them, cause I figured it out already. Smh. Suckers!

So my advice is, be who you genuinely are. The snakes only act like snakes. We are all actually people. So all of this mental stuff is an illusion (of the mind!). When you be the way you are naturally, you will go with the wave of life and it will take you to amazing places and cause you to see amazing things and meet amazing people. You will be rooted like a tree but have branches that stretch out wide to reach and cover many.

No seriously. Try it and see. Experience life! See who you are! Life is fun, engage with it but not the illusion. That is not real life.

I hate it when people who know me call me and then have the nerve to get angry when I don't call them back. Best way to reach me is text. Call me when you have emergencies....

I also hate it when people call me to go somewhere when they assume I have nothing else to do. Like the other day, I had bought 3 pounds of steamed crab and ws just looking forward to laying on the couch and eating it while watching X-men but then these heffalumps want to call talkin bout I promised to go downtown Atlanta wit dem. I really don't recall even promising that, and even if I did, everyone knows I'm full of sh!t so why even believe what I say? Anyways they ruined my evening and I felt like I was forced to act social and turn up when I could've been relaxig at home
